Dauerwald trotzt dem Klimawandel Auswirkungen naturnaher Waldwirtschaft auf Beobachtungsflächen untersucht Der naturnah bewirtschaftete, gemischte Dauerwald könnte sich im Klimawandel gegenüber dem traditionell bewirtschafteten Altersklassenwald als erfolgversprechenderer Ansatz erweisen. Anlass zu dieser Einschätzung geben die Untersuchungsergebnisse des vom Bundesministerium für Ernährung und Landwirtschaft geförderten wissenschaftlichen Projektes „Dauerwald“. Die Projektbeteiligten der Arbeitsgemeinschaft Naturgemäße Waldwirtschaft Deutschland e. V….
